If you are a budding composer, you have most likely begun writing for pieces for an instrument or instruments that you familiar with. This is very often the piano or the strings, but composing for brass, woodwinds, and percussion can be great starting point too. Some composers start out as songwriters and later write for the orchestra. Examples of this include Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails fame, Beatle Paul McCartney, and record producer and singer-songwriter Jon Brion. 🎼🎹🎻🎙️🎶
